About Me

Early American Folk art and trades

20150901

I have been making furniture for 40 years. For me it remains a hobby and not a business. I am primarily interested in American period furniture from the mid to late 1700's as well as the work of the Shakers. Hand tools are used extensively in creating these pieces.

Hello. I love the site and especially the sack back with crest rail in green over red. I am having a chair made with milk paint and was wondering how you applied the oil coat. What oil was used and how was it applied. My email is william331ster@gmail.com. Thanks. Will.
